Meet Laura

Laura has spent most of her life chasing waves and sharing her love for surfing around the world. A current pro on the World Surf League Big Wave competition in Nazare, she’s now a passionate coach and ocean advocate who makes surfing feel approachable, motivating, and always fun.

Laura’s known for her down-to-earth personality, making everyone feel welcome. She’s an expert at the mental side of surfing, including helping surfers get confident, stay focused, and enjoy every wave while making progress.

Meet Charlie

Charlie-Crane-retreat-Nicaragua-with-Lapoint-1

Charlie leads the surf coaching development during the week, bringing a fresh approach that combines land-based drills with surf-specific movement to help you unlock better flow and technique in the water. 

As a certified Oxygen Advantage breathwork coach, Charlie also guides surfers in using breath to access deeper flow states, build endurance, and stay calm under pressure both in and out of the surf.

Their combined approach blends technique, ocean awareness, and mental resilience with a warm, grounded coaching style that makes progression feel natural and enjoyable.

– We’re a brother and sister who grew up on the coast of North Devon (England), where the ocean and community shaped who we are. As professional athletes, we’ve faced our own challenges and learned how movement, mindfulness, and connection with the sea can transform both body and mind, said Laura.

Together, they bring a unique blend of expertise, energy, and lived experience to this retreat.

– Our mission is to share what we’ve learned with others and help guests gain confidence in the water, achieve personal goals, and explore their own growth journeys. Through surfing, yoga, and breathwork, we create a safe, fun, and supportive environment where people can relax, connect, and discover new ways to move, reflect, and grow, Laura continues.
